I really like the new VE Ute. AM looking at getting a MY10 SS with 6 sp manual in Voodoo blue. What do you all think of that colour?

shak,the extra weight comes from the bracing and stiffening of the chasis from the doors back,as you are aware the roof and rear structure does all that on a sedan.

One question. Why does a ute that doesnt have any rear seats, or the rear part of the roof, or the rear doors for that matter weigh about the same as the sedan equivalent. Shouldnt it weigh about 200kg’s less without all that exrta metal around the rump?

Do any of you guys actually realise that with both the Ford and Holden hot utes, the payload limitiations are actually caused by the load ratings of the low profile tyres?

And H8**** , why don’t you actually try contributing next time, instead of being a total waste of space.

its funny what you all say because i live in a town were tradies are everywhere! and i swear everyone of them either has a ve ss or a hsv. its pretty good actually and they tow massive trailers .. oh about the interior and paint if you read your car manuals correctly it will state that the car should be garaged as much as possible to prevent sun damage. leaving your car always in the sun is just showing the disrespect for your car. handbrake was also made on the ve like this to suit lhd and rhd so yea

Holden have not made a secret about there utes being for play more then work. Yet time and time again it’s the same old shit written up by death people like post 3.

But anyway, If this ute is shocking for it’s payload, What do we think of the FPV utes with a even lower payload?.

On th A pillars, So dangerous that no accident has been recorded anywhere because of them.
Most people don’t even know they are thicker then any other car. You would need to tell them first, And then they more then likely wouldn’t care.

But this Santa Klaus i think he shouldn’t have posted, Clearly he has issues before he wrote a single thing.

Ive spend some time reading these comments and I have never read so much bull*&$t in my life.
I am absolutely convinced now that review responses are a complete waste of time.

Ok so the Hilux has what to do with a SS-V ute?? You’d buy those two cars for completely different reasons, why compare??

Personally I’ve just ordered a VE SS-V. It’s silver, 6sp Manuel and doesn’t have the red interior (stuck to Onyx!). I didn’t buy it as a ‘work ute’ (24yo female with an office job) I bought it because it drives awesome, looks hot and is a lot of fun!
We have another (VE SS) at home and am using 14l/100kms with normal driving, can’t complain too much.

Touch you up: In the back of the ute; and the bedroom; and the kitchen; and the lounge room and; the pool table and the….

The Pita-Pata of tiny feet: That’s what the Subie is for babe or even the AWD V70 T-6.

Sorry Andrew because BM’s the first in line to be Buffed and Polished…. Wax on – Wax Off…. A Bit of a Touch-Up

Wheelnut,
you will have to come over and give my ute a scrub then.

i havent had time to polish it as much as i used to lately.
it needs a good detail soon, because as soon as i get a bit of free time ill be off to the dealership for a trade in.

that will be the time when i bid farewell to yet another trouble free, well served falcon ute.
(but apparently they dont exist, just ask you know who)

Wheelnut — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 08:23:23 +0000

The Ute will be used for my mobile car detailling biz..
It will also help carry furniture etc for BM when she opens her Antique shop [which she has always wanted to do]

However; I also have an ‘02 Subaru Impreza RS Sedan which produces approx 150Kw due to a few enhancements to the intake and exhaust.
